Multiplayer 5/5.Single player(includes the end of the ME trilogy) 3/5. I rarely saw such a disappointing ending on a videogame or movie. No single decision you made in me1+2 changes any of the 3 endings. But who knows, maybe another 10$ dlc gets us a better ending.

Agreed.

Bioware was totally indoctrinated by EA.Latest rumors say there will be a free dlc, bringing an extra mission after the 'ending' which will close the huge plot holes, 8 new classes for mp, 2 new kinds of enemies, 1 new map and you will be able to get the dlc and CE weapons in the multiplayer.I doubt it. If this leak (from 4chan ) was real, it will cost another 10$+.

Everything about the game was good outside of the ending. Disappointing way to finish a great series. I was so hyped to play through all three games again to see the impact my choices could have, but now I've lost the drive to go through it again and opted out to play The Void instead.

I enjoy the multiplayer greatly, although I see it getting old quick unless they release new maps or something. Only motivation at the moment is promoting your maxed character for N7 rating (bootleg prestige lol), and getting credits to upgrade your gear. Once i get good enough gear and do all the missions on gold I can see myself barely touching it afterwords.

As for the single player, I really loved the game up until I realized that the choices in this game were really pointless imo. Very minor fan services were done from imports. At least ME2 actually had major consequences at the suicide mission. This one, nothing.

I even maxed out to almost 7k military power with 100% readiness and there is no significant or minor change at the ending battle at all. All for nothing. IMO, there is only one "TRUE" ending, it's pretty clear. The only one that actually shows the crew exiting the crashed Normandy, and the only obvious "good" choice. The other two ending just seem non-canon to me, and just carelessly thrown in.

As stated by others, I do believe things would have been different for the series had bioware not become a part of EA. Then again, who knows if we would have had a Trilogy at all if otherwise. Either way, this seems like an obvious EA tactic to increase DLC sales. You think this ending is bad, go play Final Fantasy XIII-2. Doesn't get any worse than that recently lol.

All three endings result in the Mass Relays being destroyed, and the Normandy being stranded on some alien world. The only differences in the endings were the colour of the explosion, and a few insignificant details, such as the reapers collapsing if you chose Destruction, or Joker having weird green eyes if you chose Synthesis. I don't even consider the "Shepard is still alive" ending to be unique, because it was in a cutscene separate from the rest of the ending.

All three were the same. Choose your colour palette.

The characters are dead, Mr.Laeddis!! They died ten years ago!!

-combat is dumbed down from ME2 (i do appreciate that the introduction of soft cover)-- enemies are totally forgettable compared to ME2. about a third of the way through my first playthrough on hard the game turned into black widow pixel hunt and never stopped.-lots of tedium and odium (unskippable dialogue sequences, scanning universes, anything that happens in the citadel)-the ending sucks but not because of any plot/story elements, the ending sucks in strictly formal terms. from the last grind mission (defend these things while killing the same shit you've been killing the whole game) to the scene where you're assaulting the beam (which you have to actively try to fail-- so in some sense you are not playing the game at all) to crawling around the citadel's annals with your unlimited ammo pistol

the series continues to shamelessly steal gears of war mechanics, at a consistently low standard of quality

ME2 was such a giant step up from 1, 3 feels like if anything a step back in most aspects. of course i have only myself to blame-- finna eat dogshit and complain about the flavor
